Some do, especially the workbook and online programs. Literature-based and family-style programs usually place by age and reading level instead. The notes above say how each one recommends starting.
In family-style programs, yes: history, science and literature are shared, and each child works at their own level in math and language arts.
That's common. Many families use an all-in-one for most subjects and place math or reading separately.
